Goalkeeper’s Last-Second Header Earns Pontevedra an Opening-Day Draw With Cacereño

The match underscored the razor-thin margins facing newly promoted sides in Primera RFEF.

Overview

  • Cacereño struck first through Carlos González in the eighth minute before the game finished 1-1.
  • Diego Nieves saved a late penalty from Dani Selma, then Raúl Marqueta leveled with a stoppage-time header from Yelko Pino’s free kick around the 97th to 99th minute.
  • VAR involvement and lengthy added time marked the contest, including reviews around a first-half collision and the late penalty decision.
  • Cacereño begins the campaign without Antonio Marchena after a preseason knee ligament rupture ruled him out for the season.
  • The Pasarón opener was selected for Movistar’s debut Primera RFEF broadcast as both overhauled squads aim to stabilize, with Pontevedra next visiting Ponferradina.
